What do handyman services include?

Have some untackled DIY tasks at home that you can’t seem to find time for? Find a highly skilled handyman near you with remarkable customer service by using Airtasker. 


Here are some handyman services you might find useful:


General handyman services

Start chipping away at that growing list of odd jobs around the house. By hiring a general labour handyman, you can get several things done expertly and efficiently. Request your Tasker to help you with tasks like pulling up carpets, replacing light bulbs, or hanging shelves so you can focus on finishing work, running your business, or taking care of your kids.


Indoor installations and repairs

Whether you need assistance with installing newly bought homeware or fixing old ones to avoid purchasing replacements, your hired handyman can cover for you. Have them work on installing curtain rods and blinds, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. If a home security system is what you need installed, you can book a separate service to make this happen.


Outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor setup tends to take a beating, from heavy rains or the messy aftermath of kids playing. Keep your backyard in top shape by getting outdoor items fixed up right. Find a handyman near you who can tackle tasks like setting up your garden shed or clothesline, patching up windows, getting your mower back in action, and installing some outdoor blinds.


Bricklaying and building work

If you’re in need of basic home construction, go for handyman services provided by Taskers with ample bricklaying and building experience. These experts can help you build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. To maintain these areas, you can also hire Taskers to perform gardening work or brick cleaning as needed.


Wall hanging

Want to free up space by mounting your TV or bicycle on the wall? Get a handyman for any wall hanging needs to ensure your furnishings are level and fitted securely. From picture frames and mirrors to heavier electrical items like dryers, count on your Tasker to do a thorough job. Need help with your cable TV wiring? You can also book a service for this on Airtasker.


Furniture repair

When booking a repairman for furniture fixes, be specific about the item that needs fixing to make sure you hire the right people. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may be suitable if you’re looking to have your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed repaired. On the other hand, hire a tradie with electrical experience for fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment.


Home maintenance

Keeping your home in top-notch condition is a breeze when you have access to regular home maintenance services near you. A local handyman can help with cleaning the gutter, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and working on minor roof repairs. Regular home maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into costly problems, keeping your place looking schmick and running smoothly.

Mainly picture hanging & couple handyman jobs - pref tomorrow pm

$300

Albert Park VIC, Australia

15th Jan 2025

- Picture hanging - 2 fairly heavy (1 of which is also long - see photo, bed is QS for frame of reference), another 4-6 pretty light - all on plaster walls - Hanging an antique clock - see photo, also on a plaster wall - Moving a towel hook from it's current position to lower down a standard lightweight door between bedroom and ensuite (see photo for type of hook, definitely needs to be screwed into the door and is currently screwed in - see photos incl from underneath wear the screw presumably is - my carer and I tried but couldn't find the screw itself) ? Removing a simple drilled-in toilet paper towel holder in ensuite and using adhesive that won't damage the wall tiles (or those 3M hooks of which I have many of all shape and size and weight bearing capacity) to stick on a wooden one with a drawer - photo doesn't want to upload for some reason, but it's a drawer big enough to hold a 40 pack of wet wipes and a standard holder "hook" underneath it to slide a roll of toilet paper onto Need to bring own tools, I have hooks for lightweight frames but not the two heavier ones or the clock Priority given to people who can come tomorrow Thursday 16th Jan any time from 12pm onwards

Can’t recommend Ahmad highly enough. He did an excellent job hanging pictures (some quite heavy) & other items, & gave great advice on their placement - he has a good eye for interior design as well as being a great handyman. I have multiple disabilities & severe pain so I especially appreciated that Ahmad didn't just do a good job, he was extremely kind & caring too, even doing things not included in the task. I'll certainly request him again.

Hang a floating shelving on an apartment wall.

$100

Docklands VIC 3008, Australia

I bought some floating shelving online but have no idea how to hang it on the wall. I dont have the tools or the knowledge to know how to drill and hang anchors on an apartment wall. Would love to learn as well so I can apprentice to help. Shelves are already put together (there are two of them) but I just dont know how to hang them on the wall.

Callan was brilliant and withstood my stupid questions and happily explained everything he was doing. I added an extra twist of hanging something else and he didnt flinch. Would totally recommend him to do work in the future.
